It's a cold day when our people get
left entirely.
During these days while the farmer
is busy and local news is scarce we
hope our friends will make it a point
to give us all the local happenings.
The man who has never trOdden the
path of local news-gatherer has but
little idea of his laborious work. The
dearest friend of the local man is he
who can always remember few
news items.
A. T. Soule, of Rochester, n. Y !,

man will take a fancy to Great Bend
before long. If so, we will promise
him in advance as many testimonials
as to the wonderful curative proper
ties of his medicine as he can desire.
About this time the country aunts
and cousins begin to receive affec-
tomato and highly perfumed letters
from their city relatives who hav-
been too busy to write all winter.
They want to know if the farmer man
has planted any of "those fresh eggs
we had last summer" and if the
dear old cow had begun to set on the
fresh butter.-Topeka Capital

The grea: difficulty in the way Of
producing first quality winter milk is
stable odor. We have large quantities
Of as well-made butter rs one could
wish to see condemned to third grade
price simply because OF this faint. The
same difficulty exists in the production
of milk for family consumption or for
sale at condensing factories. With the
latter rigid inspection Of the stables
of the patrons is made once or twice Il
week, and this is found necessary in
order to keep the milk free from stable
faint We can not urge upon dairy
men too strongly the excellent results
of using common land plaster in this
connection. We have tried it the pres.
ent season, and the effect is far beyond
even what we had anticipated. A light
sprinkling of the plaster in the cutters
and under the cows every night and
morning will completely absorb all
odors, and what is of equal value it will
take up the ammonia and other valu.
able constituents in the urine which
would otherwise be lost. Besides the
plaster is not,wasted, but is retained in
the manure to work its valuable mission
on the soil. The cost is trifiing. and
we are sure every dairyman will be
pleased with its use. Try it. and see
how nicely it works.-HoarTs Dairy.

TEMPLE OF SERPENTS.
The Collection Of Reptiles Worshiped b
the Natives Of Dahomey.

The Collestion Of Reptiles worshipsd by
the Natives Of Dahomey.
The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom Of Dahomey. is celebrated for
its temple Of serpents-a long building
in which the priests keep upward Of 4
thousand serpents of all sizes, which
they feed with birds and frogs brought
to them as offerings by the natives.
These serpents, many of them Of
enormous size, may be seen hanging
from the beams Of the ceiling. with their
heads hanging downward. and in all
sorts of strange contortions The
priests make the small serpents go
through various evolutions by
lightly touching them with a rod,
but they do not venture to touch
the larger ones, some Of which are big
enough to enfold bullock in their
coils. It often happens that some Of
these serpents make their way out OF
the temple into the town, and the
priests have the greatest difficulty in
coaxing them back. To kill a serpent
intentionally-is crime punishable with
death; and if European were to kill
one the authority of the king himself
would scarcely suffice to save his life.
Any one killing serpent unintention-
ally must inform the priest of what has
occurred and go through the course Of
publication which takes place once .

The WINTER mulcH.


/
Is Not Generally Understood.
Many people imagine that. if they do
| not get their trees and vines muiched
before the first hard freezing occurs. it
is Of no use to mulch at ali after taat.
Such is not the case. There is, ex-
cepting with few varieties of fruits
and flowers. no injury at all from quite
hard freezing. We do not mulch to
keep ont frost entirely. Certainly very
few mulch heavy enough for that. The
object in mulehing is to prevent alter
nate freezing and thawing; and with
those stems that are bent over and COW
cred the object is, further. to shut of
the dry. shriveling winds of winter.
A frost-proof covering is not necessary
to accomplish this in fact it should not
be frost-proof. A strawberry bed buried
to q frost-proof depth would be injured
more than if left uncovered. The
plants would be smothered in many
eases.
The ground should freeze moderately
before putting on the mulch. The
mice and moles can not then
work along through the surface
of the ground to the injury OF the
roots. l have known them to work
great havoc in a strawberry bed that
was mulched before the ground had
frozen at all. 1t often happens that the
snow and mulch together form FROST
proof covering through which the cold
can not penetrate sufficiently TO freeze
the ground underneath so it is always
safer TO allow the ground to freeze to =
depth of Mt least an inch or two before
putting on the winter covering of mulch.
So don't neglect TIE mulching alto
gether because it has already frozen
with no mulch on. In this case it is not
exactly '.bettcr late than never" 1t is
better late than early. The best ma
terial is straw, or even half-rotted ma
nure for that can be used on the land
when removed in spring. 1t may usu-
ally be drawn away from the plants. if
not wanted for summer mulch. and
worked into the soil between the rows.
I use the same material for summer
mulch, and find it beneficial for holding
moisture and fertilizing through the
growing season. - W. d. B0ylst0n, in
